I haven’t been food shopping in a while and had some vegetables that need using up so improvised and created a new soup. As you can see, instead of bread, I dipped in some lettuce leaves which sounds depressing but was actually really good. But if that sounds a bit too healthy for you, you can always grab a toasted baguette or slice of bread.

I’ve put the ingredients and method below but if you want to add more or less of something or chuck in some other vegetables, go for it. Personally, I love garlic so added in a lot but if that doesn’t suit your taste then just skip that ingredient. Similarly, add more or less milk depending on how thick you like your soup.

Serves: 2 Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

4 large leeks

250g Mushrooms

4 large garlic cloves

4 tsp Green Pesto

Romaine Lettuce Hearts

50ml Semi-Skimmed milk (Or whatever milk you like)

Method:

Slice your leeks, mushrooms and garlic cloves and boil them in a pan for 20 minutes.

Drain your vegetables and put them back in the pan. Add in the milk and blend until smooth. Add more milk until you achieve the consistency you desire.

Once blended, simmer on a low heat and stir in your pesto.

Serve with your lettuce leaves or bread and enjoy!

Let me know if you enjoy this recipe, I will hopefully be posting a few more in the future!

If you’re like me, then you have the same few breakfasts repeatedly and can get a bit bored. So this morning, I tried something new and made a turkey bacon and egg loaf. It was almost like quiche without the pastry, but with some spinach and tomatoes on the side, it kept me full all morning.

I used turkey bacon but you could chuck in whatever you fancy. I’ve also made it with chicken sausages and pork bacon and both were great! If you’re going to use sausages, pre-cook them or at least partially cook them before you make your egg bake so you don’t get food poisoning. And die.

Below are the ingredients and method; if you make this let me know what you think! If you don’t fancy spinach and tomatoes on the side you could always have beans, toast or hash browns for a quick and easy breakfast!

Serves: 1 Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

A splash of semi-skinned milk

1 small red onion

Turkey bacon (Pork bacon works well too)

Spinach

A handful of cherry tomatoes

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.

Slice your red onion into small chunks and put two thirds of your chopped onion in a bowl. Keep the other third to add to your spinach later.

Crack your eggs into the bowl, add your milk and mix. Also add in

Use scissors to slice up your bacon into the bowl and mix into the mixture.

Line your baking tin with grease proof paper or grease it with a small amount of butter. Add in your mixture and cook for 15-18 minutes.

Five minutes before your loaf will be ready, put a small amount of water into a frying pan and boil your onions for two minutes.

Slice your cherry tomatoes in half and chuck them in, along with the spinach and cook until the water is used up and spinach has wilted.
